WASHINGTON — Senator Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts raised more than $6 million in the first quarter of the year, her campaign said on Wednesday, trailing some Democratic rivals but exceeding the campaign’s worst-case fears after some early fund-raising troubles and the departure of her finance director.

Ms. Warren received more than 213,000 contributions from more than 135,000 donors, with an average donation of $28, her campaign said. She also had a strong finish to the quarter. The campaign raised more than $1.4 million during the last week of the quarter and received more than 50,000 new donations during that period, exceeding its goal of 35,000 new donations.

The numbers offer the most detailed window into the financial outlook of Ms. Warren’s campaign, which had, to this point, released little information about its ability to raise funds. Ms. Warren has raised eyebrows — and won supporters — for her decision to swear off high-dollar fund-raising events and rest her campaign’s hopes on small-dollar donations.

The figures on donations came after her campaign put out urgent warnings that fund-raising was critical to perceptions of Ms. Warren’s strength. And, while better than some had feared, they still left her trailing some key rivals.

1. Way to go Senator!

We've got a bit of a hill to cover, but it's worth crossing!

2. Good for her.

She has always impressed me but never more than she has in this campaign. Her CNN town hall was great.

3. I really like her. I hope that she weathers the various b.s. thrown at her.

I think I would feel very good voting for her in both the primary and the general.

6. Thanks, Steve...

I saw her on Stephanie Ruhle's show this morning and she is saying she needs help with contributions and to go to 'elizabethwarren.com', so I will continue with where she referred me to until she mentions 'act blue'...sorry.

For all I know, it could be the same place but as long as I can get her on the stage...
